1 Corinthians 9:3-10 Apostle's State Of Life 7 May 2024

1Co 9:3 To those who want to interrogate me,
this is my answer.
4 Have we not every right to eat and drink?
5 And every right to be accompanied by a Christian wife,
like the other apostles,
like the brothers of the Lord, and like Cephas?
6 Are Barnabas and I the only ones who have no right to stop working?
7 What soldier would ever serve in the army at his own expense?
And who is there who would plant a vineyard
and never eat the fruit from it;
or would keep a flock
and not feed on the milk from his flock?
8 Do not think that this is merely worldly wisdom.
Does not the Law say exactly the same?
It is written in the Law of Moses:
9 You must not muzzle an ox when it is treading out the corn.
Is it about oxen that God is concerned here,
10 or is it not said entirely for our sake?
Clearly it was written for our sake,
because it is right
that whoever ploughs should plough
with the expectation of having his share,
and whoever threshes should thresh
with the expectation of having his share.

Saint Paul writes about the call to serve Christ.

The Example Of Saint Paul

And Saint Paul himself meets the recommendations he gave to the Corinthians.

Prayer

Jesus, please call workers for this time. We are so busy.
